EnvironmentalLitigation

Environmental Litigation in Thailand

Environmental Litigation Juslaws & Consult lawyers represent parties in real estate and commercial disputes when environmental issues come into play. We also represent clients involved in cases that arise due to alleged breaches of environmental laws or regulations. As problems with pollution have grown in the Kingdom, so has the number of court cases based on environmental law. Recently a Civil Court division was opened specifically to handle cases involving the environment.

The creation of a new division was necessary due to the large number of cases brought forth by those affected by pollution from industrial operations – including air pollution, chemical pollution, hazardous waste pollution and others. All environmental cases filed with the Civil Court will be tried by this new court. It is designed to give all Thais recourse to the courts without requiring the expenditure of large amounts of funds. We anticipate that a growing number of businesses may find they will require legal representation in environmental cases heard in this court.
